 is DK and I'm back with another video put me on your big screen video today we're going to talk about we're gonna I'm gonna give you guys a recap on 2023 on how my first year was using gig apps you're gonna get the good bad the ugly you're gonna get my five favorite apps you're gonna get the ones that were most profitable you're gonna get the things I would change and the things that I did great so you're gonna get a lot of information in this video all I'm asking for you to do is smash that scrub also give me a thumbs up I need these videos to start getting to 1000 likes so I can get my pockets tight so let's get into it my top five most profitable gig apps using a sprinter van in 2023 coming in hot baby number one dispatch on the dispatch app in the beginning of the year I was getting busy I was doing orders at someone well a lot of orders and for those of you who don't know what someone is someone is actually a company that sells solar panels I was out there getting busy on a dispatch app number two coming in hot again when you're playing no games let's do our thing is roadie roadie roadie with a devil wrench is the roadie app on roadie you can go out there and get busy picking up those home default orders picking up tractor supply orders picking up CVS orders picking up all type of orders in your cargo slash sprinter van so go ahead and go ahead and get that uh roadie app now number three number three is free but to get to this money oh hey free we got busy on the free app they have low orders they have minorities orders they have a lot they have a roti orders RTI you pick up food um they actually had some um airport pickups too that I did a couple times so that was pretty good and they have my most high paying order on one app at one time and that was 455 dollars so if you haven't watched that video make sure you go check that out coming in at number four you already know we hit a skull and that is dolly dolly dolly dolly go ahead and get that dolly app on a dolly app I was doing personal moves for people I was picking up items taking to their house we were doing the container store orders we were doing a lot of different orders on the dolly app so if you don't have that you may want to sign up and last but not least number five we picked up a lot of prize this to drive now number five is it was it was almost a time if I ain't gonna lie to you it was almost a time I just because of that I'm going to give you all both apps but I really don't want to but I am anyway number five was curry curry curry and coming in at a very very very close number six was delivered D L I V R D B by the pull up right now so we can get this cheese delivered app number six was delivered it was off by like 14 dollars that's it and to me personally honestly the delivered orders are way easier than the curry order so I don't got no complaining dude if I had a choice to pick the two between the two I'm definitely going with the delivered orders over the curry orders because you don't have to carry heavy items you don't want to do some catering orders and that's super sweet you're gonna pick up the the food and then drop it off that's it that's all it's time for us to ball now that you gave him your list of the top five what is the worst pain one for her events now this is my personal opinion I don't want no problems with nobody baby and this may vary per area so if your area is different in my area you might be getting more money for this certain app but I don't know let me tell you guys this the one I think that pays the lowest and I think that it's it's kind of an issue with that app is bungee b-u-n-g-i-i I'm sorry buddy I gotta put you on blast right now the reason why I think they have this problem with the lowest paying orders is because it's like the app does not compensate for the weight it doesn't compensate for the weight so you can pick up this this right here you can go pick up this right here right and drive it three miles again forty three dollars and then you can go pick up two thousand pounds worth of stuff and drive three miles and get the same forty three dollars and you have to unload it so I think they need to fix that other than that that's I think that's the worst app and unfortunately it is I did make some money on a bungee app but it is what it is baby hey I'm here to tell the truth and nothing but the truth so help me god um okay so since we switched from the car to the sprinter van and for 2023 literally pretty much the whole year um what do you think that you should have done differently that you didn't that we didn't do is there something that that we should have done sooner and we waited too long or things that probably would have made the year better than what it was multiple things you know I tweak all the time I'm not perfect I mess up stuff all the time first off I said I had all the apps switched before right when we got the cargo man switch them right away but to my defense hey hey hey get up off me get up off me to my defense it was January 1st so January 1st people started on kicking in and going back to working everything it's probably like January 3rd to the 4th to the 5th depending on what day it was when it was January 1st last year so I should have switched the app sooner um this is a a good you know segment right here right let me say this should I have got the car the the commercial insurance sooner personally I do believe that we kind of waited a little bit too long we did we got it like on a ninth month we got like in September or something like that so we ain't had it left that long like three or four months we should have got it probably me personally I think that we should got it like around in the like the middle of May to the beginning of June that's what I'm thinking like around the sixth month more what you think about that I think June June July would have been okay yeah maybe like right before 4th of July yeah and I think that because we was getting busy on the Sun 1 orders we was going crazy with the Sun 1 orders and if we would have the the carrier companies like multiple carrier companies right after that we could have really went crazy but I didn't seize the moment I made adjustments to that's nothing I messed up on I made adjustments too slowly um when we was getting busy with the dispatch in the summer orders we was going crazy going crazy going crazy I made adjustments too late because it had already switched over to us not getting any orders anymore so while we was getting busy going crazy I should have like implemented more stuff at the same time like I should have added on to it right at the time but I do want to say this one of the things that I think we did greatly was we didn't start off coming in hot with the carrier company and getting the commercial insurance honestly in my personal opinion this is my personal opinion my personal opinion on my personal opinion only using the gear gaps does help you better understand the whole industry in general like it's like a smaller version of going to a carrier company or getting your own authority it kind of builds you up and kind of gives you an idea of how things are going to be so I'm glad that we did start off with the gear gaps I do think that we should have added the commercial insurance and the carrier companies and not just one carrier company multiple carrier companies by like around the six month mark I think that's where I messed up it okay I think that personally I think that we should have had business cards ready and handed them out sooner oh I forgot about that absolutely I tweaked on that I was unprepared a lot of times I was playing chess and not checkers I'm playing checkers now I mean I'm playing chess now not checkers I was playing checkers not chess so I gotta uh blame myself for that I definitely should have had the business cards out I definitely should have been given to everybody that we run into but I did not do that that I absolutely made a mistake on that okay so overall um do you think that getting the van was profitable and if you had to start over would you still have upgraded and gotten the van that is an excellent question honestly me personally I don't like we didn't make boot cool money yet we make boot cool money we ain't go super crazy we aren't in the green I think that we were profitable but I don't think we made as much money as we we're gonna make in the end like like this is the beginning this is nothing we're making Trump change compared to what we're really gonna make and I know some people make you could have went over the wall you could have did this you could have done that hey I'm doing what I want to do I don't do it nobody else tell me I don't do it nobody tell me I do not work for a company I work for myself I do what I want to do how I want to do it when I want to do it and why I don't want to do it um I do think that we made a great investment on buying the van from the car now don't get me wrong I will say when we had Walmart spark we was out there getting busy I'm talking we uh we was going crazy we had like a no five and six hundred dollar days we was getting two hundred dollars every single day I'm talking about two hundred two hundred two hundred two hundred pretty much every day now but I will say the difference between the Sprinter van and having a car was we was on Walmart spark we was getting the two hundred dollars a day I've noticed that when since we had the Sprinter van that things seem to slow down a lot more on the weekends with Sprinter van I don't know why it's just something that's going on comment below and let me know how it's going to your area but on the weekends it seemed like things slow down we get an order here and there and um that's really what I feel about having a car versus having a cargo van so you wish it was all seven days absolutely me personally I want to work every single day I don't want no days if I want zero days off you guys don't know this but I do get up very very early in the morning what time do you think I get up coming below and let me know I get up at 145 in the morning to go out there and get busy I have to have everything situated if I don't get up at the proper time and I go to sleep super early so don't worry about that don't worry about that I know y'all we want people to stay up and all that stuff I'll be trying to go out there and be ready for the next day so I'm going to get that Monday and I know that the early orders are going to drop around 5 20 ish so I get up at 145 do my exercise get in the sauna do crossword puzzles I do by time see that's why y'all be wondering why we be going in the house so early is because guess what I already been up if I wake up at 145 at 145 p.m it's gonna be 12 hours I've been out so y'all gotta think about that yes there is more orders later on in the day but I'd rather get up early get my stuff done and get go out there and get busy but I really have been having issues as of lately well no even in the 2023 we was getting busy on dispatch then everything slowed down it kind of stopped so we was getting up early on that going out there getting busy going to someone being at like a 6 6 0 5 6 30 sometimes 5 30 depending on what time you got to be there later on in the year we actually was getting busy on a roadie app we have go to the um Home Depot orders go go do a Home Depot order but as of lately like some days we get the Home Depot orders and some days we don't get them so it's like sometimes I do feel like that I'd be kind of bothered about nothing going on like what was what's going on I just gotta sit in the house now because I can't go while it's too early it's 5 20 in the morning 5 in the morning it's way too early to be out there's nothing going to be open nobody's going to be sending out any orders so what do I do now so it's a gift and a curse with the waking up early going out there to get busy um I was just thinking about the top five most profitable apps and we didn't consider a drop off so it was a dedicated route and we were doing it with a car first but we did switch it over and use the van after we got the van because we were already out but do you think how much do you think I mean do you think that where would that have fallen in the top five that's a great point on that I'm gonna say that's this look I'm just gonna tell you honest you first time I'm gonna start off by saying we no longer do our drop off route I'm gonna get into the story hey hey simmer down simmer down when you don't jump off in about three months since it's like September or something like that but drop off low key would be number two so it'll be this batch then it will be drop off then I will go roadie then it will be freight then it would be dolly I think oh dolly yeah they'd be dolly then it'd be curvy then it'll be delivered after that so that's how it will go now the reason why we stopped doing the drop off route is because that's just be honest man I ain't like it I'm just like look look I'm just gonna tell you honestly I'm true I did not like it we had it every single Tuesday now we made $200 every single Tuesday guaranteed because we had to do our drop off route but there was multiple issues with the drop off route that I didn't like number one we came to pick up the route too late it was like around 10 o'clock we had to go if we could have got that join at five or four or five in the morning oh yeah we do that every morning no problem but we had to go there at 10 o'clock so and it it was far out there too it wasn't like it was down the street we had a job like an hour and 10 minutes in Chicago hour 10 to 20 minutes depending on the traffic and at 10 o'clock so it's gonna be more traffic than not a traffic and all that stuff go out there get the order then do the order and then like later on after a while they start switching around a little bit now they got to jump us over here here here we're going back and forth back and forth even though we had everything optimized they had a jumping all the way here and here and here then end up at the last like the very last moments like the last maybe like 10 or 10 blocks we did they start sending us now we draw a driver 95 miles for $200 now granted it is towards home but I'd rather be in the city do my joining then go straight to the crib now I gotta do this boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom then go over here drop this off then go home over here I don't know I did not like it it was cool it was guaranteed money it was taking too long for me man I'm sorry it was taking five hours we had like some weeks we it was cool we had 25 orders no 26 orders then they started jumping that up to 35 37 like y'all starting to do too much now simmer down now and y'all gotta jump on boom boom boom jumping all over here and you're gonna simmer down with that so drop off was cool everything went well but I really did not like it that much this is my honest opinion what about you I didn't think it was that bad and I think that you're over here over here is a slight exaggeration man that joint was jump look look not that that joint was jumping at crisscross that I was jumping crisscross and jumping we jump a boom a boom so we do like a little grab then we gotta do them then like the last one you gotta go all the way up like man look it was all the way up towards home though but the thing is we went from we went from doing like 30 miles like 95 miles though well you're talking 30 miles of just the deliveries because we already were driving all the way there no I'm not counting that miles I'm talking about I'm talking about the route how much was the route how many miles was the route like how average well it the route got a little bit worse after you told him that you wanted to switch route numbers now the reason why not not no oh ccc not trying to get a hold on simmer down I did definitely tell them I want to switch the route numbers because my guy Jordan I don't know if he wasn't channel right now my guy Jordan he had this row and then he stopped doing the route the route was going towards home now the route was going towards home when you go in like the better areas you're not in the city as much and let me just say this to my defense I only did this because the first time when we did it it was sweet we got done with the route in like two hours it was super sweet that's the reason why I said switch me so after I switched to after we did it for that one time because he went there for one time so I'm like boom we he's like they're like we got another route for you try this right out man that joint was sweet two hours we at home nothing we uh uh uh getting busy so I'm like okay that's a sweet route he leave I'm like let me get that joint in look it went down it went down here from there it was critical after that so hey that wasn't my fault I thought I was doing something smooth but I wasn't so that's what happened with that I know this doesn't necessarily have to do with the cargo van but it is still about your year and um the youtube channel changed a lot once you got the cargo van um so what what do you think that you could have done differently for youtube to make it better than what it was and what would you say to people who are thinking about starting their own youtube channel um just maybe like a quick couple of tips first thing I want to say is once we went from the car to the cargo van honestly this is my honest opinion the views went down much more they went down much more because I feel like that some people thought it wasn't relatable to them anymore even though I don't understand why you wouldn't continue watching channel because it's showing growth from going to a car well going to a SUV a personal vehicle to get in the car then get in the car getting kicked off apps getting on and off apps they kicking us off apps and all that stuff it's showing you know persistence it's showing everything drive it's showing everything that you need to go um about this business or doing gig apps in general so we went from the car to the cargo van the views went down um I will say I do understand why some people stick to their niche because they know that they're gonna get a certain amount of views and a lot of times you want to say something people really don't like change they don't like change they want you to be the same they don't want you to change they don't want you to grow they don't want you to do anything they want you to continue to do the same thing over and over and over and over and to be honest with you guys about the youtube I can't I get bored fast I get bored I ain't I'm just gonna tell you look I get bored I get bored of doing stuff I don't want to do it and I also am very big on elevating going to the next level so in order for me to grow I have to I had to make that move to go grab the uh sprinter man I had to it was only right to me and spread since we got kicked off a spark when we was when we had spark we was getting busy with that but that's only gonna last so long and with the views and everything it's gonna be good and it's gonna be bad like y'all already be y'all y'all low key be halfway rock on me halfway not rock on me I don't be knowing what be going on some of y'all I need y'all to start liking these videos I'm getting average probably I would say four thousand views let me say that and I'm only getting 300 likes that why are y'all not liking the video y'all I'm trying to push up on youtube algorithm so we get that hundred thousand so if you guys decide that you want to start a youtube channel I'm going to give you guys some good advice now this this is what I'm gonna tell you number one this is the number one thing of all things when you're starting a youtube channel I don't care what you're doing is you're going to have to stay consistent stay consistent one more time stay consistent if you do not stay consistent is not going to work I don't care what you say I don't care what you've seen I don't care what you think if you are not consistent is not going to work now after you are consistent for so long you can you know try different things with the channel you need to stay consistent for a long time and then number two whatever you stay consistent on whatever you stay consistent on you need to have your own niche like you have to have a niche you cannot jump videos from this video to this video you're doing your hair one day you're getting the hair come one day you a barber one day and next day you doing gig gaps next day you're gaming the next day you're driving around in the event the next day you got to stick to one thing and you not stick to one thing the the consumer does not know where to go to get what they need to get I'm known for gig gaps so they're going to come to the channel for gig gaps you're not going to come in here to see me gaming believe me you me I do want to game I do want to add some gaming all that stuff to it but it is what it is this is a business this is not no no no no um no do whatever you want to do now unless you're going to do vlogs now I'm going to tell you guys about the vlogs with the vlogs it's going to be the hardest channel to create it's going to be a hard the hardest channel to build a fan base on unless you are already like semi famous like you know for something else already and then you would bring it over here to YouTube so that's what I'm going to say about YouTube channel stay consistent find your niche continue to do it never stop um you're going to have some good months you're going to have some terrible months you're going to have some fans you're going to have some porters if you want to know what a difference between a fan and supporter is go to type in mr organic and type in fan versus supporter or something like that he's going to tell you what it is because it got some cuss words in it and I just want y'all know that's how I really feel in real life too what he's saying because you know fans they only blow you while you're hot and supporter will support you through it all yeah because a fan like always tell people a fan only blows you when you're hot just like a real fan and fan to me stands for fake ass nigga they only rock with you because of what they like in you for them a supporter supports you don't forget anything sorry for cuss if you could share one priceless piece of information with anyone out there who is looking to get started in gig apps or to elevate from cars from a car gig app to cargo van gig app what would it be that is an extraordinary question that was that was a good one that was a good one research research research research research you need to do a lot extensive research you need to be always researching just because you got that's what I told you guys earlier I was doing a dispatch I was doing a certain one but I made adjustments too slowly I said I did it way before I said I got everything situated before you aren't going to continue you have to do research forever because you might have a carrier company might be going good right now or you might have your own authority might be going good right now but what's going to happen in a long haul you need to still do research do your homework in my j-man voice do your homework on doing research on a cargo van and do it different and do it different if you if you do your homework I don't know what to tell you you have to do research you have to always research you have to always be thinking about different ways to make money trying to figure out different ways to get in contact with direct shippers or people who need to move you always need to continue to do your homework do your research on how it hit different when you do your research do your research on that baby do your homework on that okay and then before we end up the video now for 2023 what are give us two goals that you have for 2024 at least two goals one that involves the cargo van and where you want it to go and one that involves how you want youtube to go I'm starting up for youtube miss y'all smash that like button we need 100,000 subscribers my goal is february 17 2024 which is in like 46 days or something around there 46 47 days we need to get to that 100,000 subscriber mark I need that plaque I've been working too hard for me to get this plaque and I need to get this plaque and I need y'all to get the plaque so I need you guys to start smashing the subscribe button liking the video sharing the video with your friends and commenting below so I can go out there and scope I've done the work what are y'all doing I don't understand like I don't understand why y'all be smashing the like button and smashing the subscribe button on so I really do not get it I'm giving you guys free game I should be charging off for this low key I really should I could be charging off for this but I'm giving this to y'all for free because I'm trying to help as many people as many as people as possible but y'all ain't even hitting the like button so I'd appreciate it if you guys will hit the like button and smash the subscribe button if you're not subscribed now as far as the cargo van it's printer van personally I do not want to have to deal with relying on gear gaps and relying on carrier companies I want to create my own stuff I still have not came up with exactly what it's going to be I did talk to my business partner and I just watched my god big city channel other day and he said that he'd love picking up stuff from the store remember I told you that I literally before I watched that video I had told my business partner that I love just going to pick up stuff from the store just drop my fault the camera died baby that joint got too hot because I'm trying to get out of this game so that's what I'm talking about this type of stuff I had to deal with this type of stuff I got to deal with great videos for you guys all I'm doing is asking you guys to smash that like button now that's what I'm saying before I watched my god big CJ channel I literally just had told my business partner earlier that day that's the most sweetest thing to me like going to Home Depot going to Menor's going to these different places picking up stuff jumping up to somebody else that's super sweet I like it better than moving furniture I like it better than all that stuff all I gotta do is go to the store get the items take somebody house and it's super sweet and you can get paid and pull up a new escalator so that's I kind of like that a lot but I do not want to rely on gig apps and all that stuff because it's not consistent enough you don't make enough money in my personal opinion and if you create your own report with people you can charge way more than you are getting paid from the gig apps but even with that I still want to do some kind of different than that I want to do this gig apps on the side carry company on the side but create our own thing we had started about some different things I'm not going to tell you guys what we're talking about but yeah just know just know we trying to figure out what we're going to do that's what we're doing so my goal is to create our own business using a sprinter vast sprinter slash cargo van created around a sprinter van and still be able to give you guys youtube videos that's another thing I'm a little low key another thing let me say this before we go I'm sacrificing not making as much money as I could because I'm creating content for you guys so I'm just I thought I'm asking y'all to like the videos it's sincere and subscribe and that's it it's simple it's cost zero zero dollars but all in all I hope you guys enjoyed this video I hope you guys have an extraordinary 2024 because y'all already know what you're coming to do we coming up let's go get it public risk code make sure you lock in tomorrow it's going back down because we ain't playing around because 2024 you already know we're gonna keep on getting this dope in school let's go I will see you guys on the next one we're going we're going flowing you already know the DDK and I'm on my way
